Class 10 WBBSE Math Solution In English Chapter 23 Trigonometric Ratios And Trigonometric Identities Exercise 23.1

Application 3. 50 is an acute angle and if tan 5θ = tan (60° + θ), then let us determine the value of θ. 

We shall remember: Generally, 

1. sin 2 θ + 2 sineθ

2. sin α/sin ẞ =not  α/β

and 3. sina +- sinẞ not = sin (α +- β)

These rules are applicable also in the cases of cosine, tangent, etc….. of an angle. 

Solution: tan 5 θ = tan (60 + θ)

or, 5 θ = 60 + θ

or, 4 θ = 60°

∴ θ = 60°/4

θ = 15°

Application 5. It is a positive acute angle, and tan e = 8/15′ then let us determine the values of sine and cos θ and prove that sin20 + cos20 = 1. 

Solution: ABC is a right-angled triangle whose ABC = 90° and ACB = θ 

∴ tan θ = AB/BC = 8/15

Let, perpendicular AB = 8k units and base BC= 15k units [where k > 0]

AC² = AB² + BC²

= (8K)² + (15K)²

= 64K² + 225K²

= 289K²

∴ sin θ = AB/AC = 8k/17k 

= 8/17

cos  θ =  base / hypotenuse 17k

∴ sin² θ+ cos² B = (8/17)² + (15/17)²

= 64/289 + 225/289

= 1

∴ sin2θ+ cos2θ = 1.

Application 6. If tan = 4/3, then let us show that, sin + cos = 7/5 

Solution: tan θ = 4/3     ∴ perpendicular = 4k & base = 3k

∴ Hypotenuse = √(4k)² + (3k)²= √16k² +9k²

∴ sinθ + cosθ =  4k/5k + 3k/5k = 7k/5k = 7/5  proved.

Application 7. In ΔABC, ∠B is the right angle and the length of its hypotenuse is √13 units. If the sum of the lengths of the other two sides is 5 units, then let us determine the value of sin C + sin A.

Solution:

Given

In ΔABC, ∠B is the right angle and the length of its hypotenuse is √13 units. If the sum of the lengths of the other two sides is 5 units

In the right-angled triangle ABC, AC is the hypotenuse.

AB is perpendicular with respect to ∠C and BC is perpendicular with respect to ∠A.

∴ sin C + sin A = AB/AC = BC/AC

AB+BC / AC

= 5/√13

Alternative Proof: Let, AB = x unit, 

BC = (5 – x) unit.

According to Pythagoras’ theorem, in a right-angled triangle ABC,

x² + (5-x)² = (√13)

or, x²+25+x-10x= 13 

or, 2x²-10x+12= 0 

or, x²-5x+6=0 

or, x2-3x-2x+6=0 

or, x(x-3)-2(x-3)=0 

or, (x-3)(x-2)=0

Either, x-3=0        ∴ x = 3

Or, x-2=0             ∴ x = 2

If AB is 3 units, then BC (5 – 3) units = 2 units.

Hence, sin C = AB/AC= 3/√13

and sin A = BC/AC = 2/√13

∴ sin C+ sin A = 3/√13 + 2/√13 = 5/√13

Again, if AB 2 units, then BC= 3 units and then sin C + sin A = 5/√13

1. I have drawn a right-angled triangle ABC whose hypotenuse AB = 10 cm, base BC = 8 cm, and perpendicular AC = 6 cm. Let us determine the values of sine and tangent /ABC.

Solution:

Given

I have drawn a right-angled triangle ABC whose hypotenuse AB = 10 cm, base BC = 8 cm, and perpendicular AC = 6 cm.

Here base BC= 8 cm

& perpendicular AC = 6 cm.

∴ AB = √62 +82 

= √100 

= 10cm.

∴  sin ∠ABC = Perpendicular/hypotenuse

= 6/10 = 3/5

and tan ∠ABC = perpendicular/base

= 6cm/8 cm

= 6/8

= 3/4

sin A = BC/AC 7/25

cos A = BC/AC = 24/25;

tan A = BC/AC = 7/24

and cosec A = AC/BC = 25

3. If in a right-angled triangle ABC, C = 90°, BC = 21 units, and AB = 29 units, then let us find the values of sin A, cos A, sin B and cos B.

Solution:

Given

If in a right-angled triangle ABC, C = 90°, BC= 21 units, and AB = 29 units,

Here AC² = AB² – BC²

= (29)²- (21)²

= 841-441= 400

∴ AC = √400 = 20 units.

sin A = BC/AC =  21/29

cos A = AC/BC = 20/29

sin B = AC/AB = 20/29

cos B = BC/AB = 21/29

4. If cos θ = 7/5 then let us determine the values of all trigonometric ratios of the angle 0.

Solution: As cos θ = 7/25

∴ Base AB 7 unit 

Hypotenuse BC = 25 unit

AC² = BC²-AB² = (25)² – (7)²

= 625-49

= 576

= (24)²

∴ AC = 24 units

sin θ = P/H = AC/BC = 24/25               Here, let Perpendicular = P

5. If cos θ = 2, then let us determine the values of tan e and sec e and show that 1 + tan²θ = sec² θ.

Solution: Here cote = 2 = 2/1 Base/Perpendicular = 2/1

∴ AC²= AB² + BC²

= (1)² + (2)²

∴ AC = √5

∴ tan e = P/B =1/2

Sece H/B = √5/2

L.H.S. = 1+tan20

= 1+(1/2)²

= 1+1/4 

= 5/4 

= (√5/2)²

= sec² θ

= R.H.S.

6. If cos θ 0.6, then let us show that (5sinθ – 3tanθ) = 0.

Solution: cos θ = 6/10 = 3/5 = B/H

∴ AB² = AC²-BC²

7. If cot A = 4/7.5 then let us determine the values of cos A and cosec A and show that 1+ cot² A = cosec² A.

Solution: cot A = 4/7.5 = B/P

∴ AB = 4, BC = 7.5

AC² = AB²+ BC²

=(4)² + (7.5)²

= 16+ 56.25 

= 72.25

∴ AC = 72.25

= 8.5 = H.

cos A = B/H = AB/AC = 4/8.5

cosec A = H/P = 8.5/15

L.H.S. 1+ cot2 A = 1 + 16/56.25

72.25/56.25

= 289/225

R.H.S. cosec² A = H/P = (72.25/7.5)²

= (17/15)²

= 289/225

∴ L.H.S = R.H.S.

9. Let us write with reason whether the following statements are true or false 

1. The value of tan A is always greater than 1.

Solution. The statement is false

if the perpendicular is greater than the base then tan A will be greater than 1, but if the base is greater than the perpendicular then tan A is less than 1.


2. The value of cot A is always less than 1.

Solution. The statement is false.


3. For an angle 8, it may be possible that sin 0 = 4/3

Solution. The statement is false.

As sinθ = perpendicular/hypotenuse

i.e., sin θ = 4/3 here, the perpendicular of a triangle can not be greater than the hypotenuse.


4. For an angle a, it may be possible that secα =

As sec θ = hypotenuse/base

i.e., secθ= 12/5, the hypotenuse is always greater than the base.

Solution:

Given

If the kite would be flown with a string of 120 m in length and the kite is at an angle of 30° with the horizontal line

AB is the height of the kite from the ground 

& AC is the length of string = 120 m. 

& angle of elevation (∠C) = 30°.
